I wonder, without speculating.... Would there be a greater percentage of licensed to unlicensed pilots? Or drivers?

From experience, probably about the same, though a higher number of fraudulently "licensed" drivers since there seems to be a whole industry around that. There is probably an equal rate of unreported accidents and incidents with airplanes (in GA at least) as there is with vehicles.
